For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

 

1. Recent satellite data indicate that a broad area of low pressure

located about 1200 miles east-northeast of the northern Leeward

Islands does not yet have a well-defined center.  However, the

system is producing tropical-storm-force winds to the east of the

broad low and a tropical or subtropical storm is likely to form

tonight or tomorrow.  The system is expected to move northward to

north-northeastward over the central Atlantic through tonight, and

then turn westward on Saturday, remaining well to the north or

northeast of the Lesser Antilles through early next week.

* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...90 percent.

* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent.
